Cybils Winners Announced!

Since I helped compile the shortlist with the Graphic Novels Round 1 panel those were the picks I was most excited to see.

For the younger set: Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hatke

Nominated by Isaac Z, I see. Could that be our own Isaac Z of Bookie Woogie? Good call Isaac! I loved this one so much I made Jacob read and he loved it too.

For the older set: Anya's Ghost by Vera Brogsol

This is what I had to say about Anya's Ghost back in July:

Inruiging. I liked the style and coloring. Anya has a bad attitude, a self-centered outlook, and a smoking habit -- she's easy to hate. When she falls down a hole and meets the ghost of the girl who fell down it before her, her life begins to change. I thought the plot and art both well executed. It was just creepy enough for me, and has a great ending. Recommended for fans of Neil Gaiman (his blurb on the front reads, "a masterpiece!"), ages 12+.

Other winners I've already read:

Winner of the Easy Reader category, I Broke My Trunk by Mo Willems - hilarious. Y'all know how much I love Elephant and Piggie. There's a reason they keep winning all the awards.
